the court found the defense of marriage act unconstitutional. that is one reason the court would be hesitant to take this case and this applies to several other cases. and there is windsor versus u.s. which was the new york case. all of these have been petition for review by the supreme court and in all the other cases the petitioner was the person who won below. this is a serious standing problem with you have standing to appeal a case for got everything you wanted in the case before. seldom has additional vehicle issues that would make the supreme court want to take them for the marriage was conducted in canada so the court would have to answer a question by new york state law whether the canadian marriage is valid so there are reasons they might not be great vehicles so it boils down to the massachusetts case in the first circuit and the california case that hasn't gone to the ninth circuit yet. department of justice would want to take the case because they want to have elena kagan on the case and a clear votes against doma. there are strong

they love to attack affirmative action through our defense's so-called color blind policies. often lost in the middle of these divergent and polarizing arguments is the ultimate goal of achieving equality for those who have been shut out of opportunities. from its inception by president johnson to the 1978 decision in their regions of the university of california verses mackey outlying -- outlying quotas to the 19 -- to the 2003 decision in a farming affirmative action policies at the university of michigan. the practical implementation of affirmative action is a patchwork of legal impressions about how best to make amends for the nation's past practices of legal, racial inequality. regrettably, the tuberous surrounding the affirmative-action debate has taken of that debate. the real ideals for affirmative-action have been some misconstrued over the years that it helps to look back and to see why it was been deemed necessary in the first place. the widely misunderstood quota system or grossly mischaracterizes as reverse discrimination against white americans, affirmative acti

that is the great transition upon which we are embarked in defense. we would need to make this strategic transition no matter what, but we are also subject to a second great source of change. that is the need to keep the united states's fiscal house in order as outlined in the budget control act which congress passed last year which required our department to remove $487 billion from our budget plans over the next ten years. i can't get through an hour in washington without this slight digression to rant about sequestration so let me do that. the budget control act as i am sure all of you know threatens a drastic process of sequestration if congress does not pass a comprehensive budget plan that the president can sign. secretary panetta and i as i said have been railing about this since last winter when many people did not know what the word sequester meant. gradually it has been sinking in in washington and around the country that sequester would be a disaster for defense. it is chaotic, wasteful, damaging not just to defense but every other function
